Insurance & Pricing

Premier Spine Center makes it a priority to be able to offer patients cost-effective options for treatments and therapies.

For that reason, we are Out-of-Network with major insurances because the majority of our patients have large deductibles to meet and would end up paying more per visit than our treatment costs.

Patients that pay our out-of-pocket rate can submit the visits to their insurance for reimbursement. We will always provide you with an itemized statement for each visit. This is especially useful for patients that have large deductibles and want to pay less up-front costs and still submit the claims to insurances.

Medicare

Premier Spine Center accepts all Medicare patients. Medicare only covers the chiropractic adjustment; examinations and any additional therapies are the responsibility of the patient. If you have a secondary insurance, we can assist you to submit any charges to the secondary insurance for reimbursement.

What are the benefits of Chiropractic treatment?

Chiropractic is a great natural, whole-body, drug-free approach to treating a variety of healthcare conditions.

Many patients who visit a chiropractor for neuromusculoskeletal conditions often end up noticing non-musculoskeletal benefits as well. These benefits include improved respiratory function, digestive function, vision, and circulation. In another study, chiropractic adjustments were shown to decrease blood pressure preventing heart attacks and strokes. Finally, many chiropractors work to care for the person as a whole from general wellness to disease prevention.

While Chiropractic has mainly focused on spinal manipulation in the past, it now includes a variety of treatments. These treatments include manual or manipulative therapies, posture correction, stretches and therapeutic exercises, nutritional counseling, supplements, custom orthotics, ultrasounds, and laser therapies.

How Safe is Chiropractic?

There is a growing number of research studies and reviews that show the treatments provided by chiropractors are clinically safe and effective. You can read more about this on the American Chiropractic Association website. However, just like with any other doctor or treatment, make sure you do some research to find a good one with proper credentialing.

Is there scientific research to support Chiropractic Care?

There are many clinical research studies showing the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for spine-related injuries, low back pain, neck pain, headaches, spinal manipulation in general, and more.

In the March/April 2007 issue of the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics, the researchers reviewed nine previously published trials and found “high-quality evidence” that patients with chronic neck pain showed significant pain-level improvements following spinal manipulation. (ACA) Also, all groups showed positive improvement even 12 weeks after treatment. There are several more studies like this one on the American Chiropractic Association website.

Here are some other research studies:

Chiropractic BioPhysics® is the most researched chiropractic technique in the world with over 200 Peer Reviewed Publications

ScienceDirect has a randomized controlled trial of the effectiveness of chiropractic treatment for migraines.

The International Chiropractic Pediatric Association has a comprehensive collection of research studies, chiropractic case studies and other published papers which show the efficacy of chiropractic care for children and pregnant women. (ICPA)
